Well actually, masks work. #SlowTheSpread #StaySafeSaveLives

Wearing a mask protects people from contracting the novel coronavirus, according to a new study by the Beaumont Research Institute of employees, which was published earlier this month in Clinical Infectious Diseases.

The study showed that of the 20,614 Beaumont health care workers who took part in the research, 1,818 — or 8.8% — had developed SARS-CoV-2 antibodies on serology blood tests.
